If Comcast continues giving problems, some people could try using Gmail. It's Google's free email service. I changed to Gmail when I left AOL because I was worried that my AOL account would be gone. Turns out that email account is still there, but I've kept Gmail for all of my lists because it has worked out so well. So far it hasn't blocked any list mail (except for a few they think are questionable due to headings <g> - but they go into my Spam and can easily be pulled out. It also groups all replies to a post under the original one so if there's something interesting, you don't have to scroll through everything to find out what someone was replying to. Also makes it easy to delete a post and all the responses with a single click - comes in handy for some of the "Off Topic" strings that don't interest you. Of course, if too many switch we might get the same problem from too many emails as AOL, Comcast and Yahoo keep running into :( It also doesn't show my own posts under the Inbox - unless I'm replying to another post. At first I wasn't sure if my posts were getting to the lists unless someone replied to me. Sometimes you just can't win!
